● Competitive models
In terms of competing models, combined with the price and positioning, the main competitors of the LUXEED R7 Extended Range Edition when it goes on sale include the Lixiang L6, Avatar 11 Extended Range Edition and AITO M7 Extended Range Edition. This time, the extended-range version has once again lowered the barrier to entry, compared to which the price advantages of the Lixiang L6 and the Aito M7 have been weakened, and the starting price of the Avatar 11 will be a bit higher. Although the above models are all positioned as medium and large SUVs, the user groups they are aimed at are still different, with the AITO M7 and Lixiang L6, which are also owned by Hongmeng Zhixing, being more orientated towards family orientation, and the Avatar 11 focusing on a sense of refinement and quality.
